hey mate, there are loads of hire shops on the sea front near the main breaks. If you find burger king (lol) there are loads of surf shops where you can hire decent quality boards for about 10euro for a day, I believe most of them also hire paddle boards but unless its tiny which rarely occurs the breaks will be busy and with the waves breaking close to the reef I'd much rather be on a surfboard. I went over easter for 2 weeks on a windsurfing holiday in el medano but ended up surfing pretty much every day due to poor wind and I can't wait to go back!!! Lots of nice waves and warm water. Dreamy.

When your facing burger king front, go up the road on the left....I think they had the best selection of boards to hire. If you cant get one there, get up early & hire for the day....the decent ones go fast. I took my own this time after my last trip in December when they only had nsp & foamies left by the time I dragged my ass outta bed.
